We stayed in a private room with our own bathroom. It was very clean. It wasn't that noisy (although I did put the ear plugs in around 3am). Free bottled water was appreciated.

Alison, Australia

Great location, good bar. Like other base hostels there are decent facilities and good activities ongoing.

Sarah, Ireland

Bathroom was amazing, bed was super comfy and in the best location.

Shania, Australia

The location was good The hall was cozy The kitchen was well equipped Most of the staff were friendly and helpful

Stefano, Italy

It was a little dirty, but that was the customers fault not the staff. I made some good friends, but you definitely have to stay over a week for that to happen.

Cathrynp, Canada

Staff were genuine and friendly, great location in CBD. Good showers on my level.

Jade, Australia

I got a room in the scantuary which is girls only area. I got 3 free glasses of presco and a towel.

Tracey, United Kingdom

The staff were great and the bed was comfy. If I was staying more than one night I would have been able to experience it a bit more but for what I needed it for it was great.

Roxy, Australia

Great location, good size rooms. Very clean and bathroom was good

Danny, United Kingdom

Had such a lovely stay! Staff were super friendly and helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable.

One of our best sellers in Sydney! Base Sydney is in the Sydney CBD (Central Business District). It is 2 minutes’ walk from the famous Darling Harbour, Qantas Credit Union Arena (previously known as Sydney Entertainment Centre) and several cafes, bars and nightlife options.

Trains and buses to Bondi Beach, the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and ANZ Football Stadium stop just across the street at Town Hall Station. The historic Rocks precinct, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House are a 15-minute bus ride away.

The Scary Canary is Base Sydney’s local watering hole where backpackers and locals meet. It serves a good quality lunch menu and by night, the bar offers drink specials, DJs and events.

Sydney Central Business District is a great choice for travelers interested in shopping, food and restaurants.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.1 for a two-person trip.

눉The shower water wasn't draining properly - I took the drain cover off and there was a hair ball in there the size of a cat. I would suggest to your cleaners to pull up the drain covers regularly and clear the hair out.

눉Stayed in lots of base and nomad hostels on our travels and the standard was always super high which is why we went with base Sydney. Was very disappointed. Was told on arrival the staff member I emailed to extend our booking with never booked the room And “assumed it wouldn’t fill up”. There was one room left available and it must have been the worst in the house, was right on the corner of the building at a junction so with the thin walls it was extremely loud. Asked to be moved a few times politely and was bluntly told they were full even though we found a few available rooms online. The only female toilet on our floor was out of service for the entire five days we were there. I have loved base hostels so far so recommend them as a whole But Overall base Sydney was a much less enjoyable stay than any other base or hostel we’ve been to.
눇Great location, good bar. Like other base hostels there are decent facilities and good activities ongoing.

눉Room 117 had a bad musty smell, which I later realised was probably from the wet carpet as the AC unit was constantly dripping water, the noise from adjacent cabins was surprisingly loud and heavy duty roadworks outside started at 8am, bed was uncomfortable and room definitely way over priced at $100 a night considering no bathroom.
